We Agree With Roosevelt
I'HK Mail Tribune takes pleasure in agreeing with Franklin
Roosevelt on bis public utility program, as outlined in
Portland last night.
Frankly, we did not expect to agree with him, We bad been
told by an enthusiastio Roosevelt supporter, that when in Ore
gon, the democratic nominee would, in view of Governor Meier's
victory on the issue in this state, endorse the public ownership
and operation of utilities, particularly regarding electric light
and power. We fully expected a repetition of that vote-catching
slogan "free light and power at no cost to the tax payers."
e
OUT Governor Roosevelt not only did NOT do this, he ex-
plicitly endorsed the principle this newspaper has advocated
for so. many years. He went clearly on record as opposed to
publio ownership and operation, he favored control through a
publio service commission declaring it the "proper way for
the people themselves to protect their interests."
ONLT WHERE THIS SYSTEM FAILS, to first: give good
service, and second s charge reasonable rates, does he favor pub
lic ownership, and then not as a permanent principle but as a
threat, the "'birch rod" in the housewife's pantry to force Bad
Boy Utility, to be good.
A LL of which if we understand President Hoover's attitude
toward publio utilities correctly, and the attitude of the
federal trade commission in its last report, is sound Republican
doctrine.
President Hoover opposes publio ownership and operation,
he favors the utilization of private initiative Roosevelt in last
night's speech explicitly favored it also, and the last report
of the federal trade commission, condemned the publio utility
misrepresentation and propoganda through the schools, and the
greed of the power barons and holding companies, just as vig
orously as the democratic nominee.
a e e
IN other words on this issue, as on the tariff, farm and financial
reconstruction issueB,' Mr. Roosevelt and President Hoover,
except in minor details and they ARE minor, stand shoulder
to shoulder, their differences are the differences only between
tweedle dee and tweedle dum.
Governor Roosevelt, apparently in an effort to avoid this
obvious conclusion, laid considerable stress in his speech on
criticisms ot President Hoover's utility policies, by his most
bitter opponent, the radical Senator Norris, of Nebraska.
But Senator Norris, openly advocates public ownership and
operation. President Hoover doesn't. Mr. Roosevelt doesn't.
The obvious conclusion is that Governor Roosevelt is using
Senator Norris to deliver him the radical vote, but if he is
elected, he will no more go over to the Norris camp, than has
the President. If there has been any doubt, the democratic
nominee removed that doubt last night, that on fundamentals
he and the Nebraska rabble rouser, are as far apart as the poles.
Roosevelt is not a radical, he is not even what Senator Norris
would call a liberal. He is by temperament, training and im
pulse a CONSERVATIVE.
PINALLT Roosevelt's speech last night, again brings into
sharp relief his inability to come out unequivocally for or
against, ANT important issue. He can't resist the temptation
to qualify, to hedge, to straddle.
A close analysis of his remarks, shows plainly he favors pri
vate initiative, he opposes publio ownership and operation; but
he qualifies both positions so strongly, that we believe the rank
and file of the American people who listened to his speech, do
ot know today, just where he stands. ,
They heard him endorse private initiative, and state regu
lation q utilities, they heard him advocate publio ownership
and operation, and again they heard him advocate this ONLY
where the former system failed, not as a permanent polioy, but
as an emergency provision, a birch rod placed in the corner.
And yet we feel convinced, many people, who believe in
public ownership and operation, feel Roosevelt is with them;
and many people who oppose the same, ARE convinced he is
with THEM, which we fear is precisely the democratic nomi
nee's hope and intention.
The reason for this is, the people at large don't analyze
speeches, carefully; they only
others point to things they don't like, they are not quite sure
where either they, or the oandidate atand.
HOWEVER, this middle of the yoad stand which careful
analysis shows Roosevelt takes on the publio utility ques
tion, happens to be precisely the stand of this newspaper. We
favor private ownership and publio regulation, we oppose publio
ownership and publio operation, BUT whore after a THOR
OUGH TRIAL the former fails to give the people a square deal,
we favor the latter, first as a threat, second as an adopted prin
ciple, only where the threat fails.
Or to express it in Governor Roosevelt's own words, we
favor a system which will give i
"Electrical aervlce satisfactory and cheap enough, while at
the same time, making poastbl the ssfe Investment of NEW
CAPITAL doing Justice to both the consumers, and the INVES
TORS in publio utilities."
In short, going back to fundamentals, back to Governor
Roosevelt's distinguished eousin, back to nothing less thnn
this: -
"Teddy Roosevelt's square deall"

Emotional Wall Street felt
SO MUCH better yesterday.
Men that had sold short, think

It Is the first time In exactly

The reason Is not obscure. When

That's what makes universal suf

In New Jersey Miss Ruth Ann, no
need to mention her Isst nsme, rich
young woman of Philadelphia, had
her choice of going to Jail or marry
ing, on the spot, the man with whom
she had been living.
She told the Judge she "abhorred
marriage," because ahe had seen so
many "rotten" marriages. But ahe
preferred marriage to Jail, and ahe
married the gentleman.
When ahe growa older Ml&s Ruth
Ann will know that marriage la not
aa bad as she thinks It Is now.
Schopenhauer, In his "Studies in
Pessimism,", says marriage la a con
spiracy In which aU women have
united "to compel every man to sup
port some one woman tor life." That's
ft poor description. Msrrlage is
training school In which women for
many centuries have been trying to
educate men to live decently. .They
havent succeeded, but they will suc

Schafer, who gave this method of

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Should ft Girl With Goiter Marry
Nineteen, have goiter on right side
of throat, not very noticeable. Have
read In doctor books that women
with euch a case should not get
married. (Miss O. M. J.)
Ana. Most "doctor books" In print
are quack or humbug "doctor" bait.
No reason why a girl with simple
goiter should not marry.
Water and Weight
Does drinking a great deal of water
Increase one'a weight? If one Is In
clined to K stout, should one avoid
drinking much water? (A. B.)
Ana. No. Any change In weight
from drinking much or little water
la always adjusted within a day or
two by Increased or decreased excre
tion of water.
Destruction of Mice
Our house la Infested with mice.
Traps account for an Insignificant
number of them. . . . (Mrs. O. W.)
What can one do to get rid of mice
in the walls ot a dwelling? Can hear
them at night. ... (E. L. T.)
Answer. 1. Install a vigorous cat
of the ordinary alley variety. 3. If
there are no domestic pets or chil
dren, use barium carbonate a a
poison. Spread It on moist toasted
bread, or on fish, or on a piece of
bread and butter. A small nibble of
this will kill ft mouse, two nibbles
ft rat.
A Boy's Sleep
How much sleep does a 17-year-old
boy. require? He works nine hours
ft day in a shipping department. He
drinks one or two glasses of beer a
day at a nearby speakeasy, for his
lunch. At night he has little appe
tite for dinner. (Mra. C. B. J.)
Ana. Not less than nine hours'
sleep every night. The boy will be
stronger and healthier and aafer
from wood alcohol blindness If he
drinks two glasses of milk for lunch.
